IMPROVEMENT'IN BRlDLE-BlT ATTACHMENTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. lS0,lS 1, dated July 25, 1876; application filed February 28, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS M. ALLEN, of the city of Augusta, in the county of Bracken and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and Improved Bridle-Bit Attachment, of which the following is a specification In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents aside view of my attachment to bridle-bits, shown as applied to a horse; and Fig. 2 is a detail side view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. 7,

My invention relates to an improved attach ment bridlebit for driving hard-mouthed horses with great facility; and it consists of the driving-lines being passed through a small pulley at the end of bridle bit, and back through a loop in saddle, and then downward to shaft.

In the drawing, A represents the drivingline, that runs from the hand to the small pul-- ley B, which turns in a casing, 0, attached by a ring to the end of the bridle-bit. The rein A is passed over the pulley B, and run back to a ring or loop, D, on saddle, and down to shaft, to be applied at same place as the back band, the disposition of the rein being clearly shown in Fig. 1. r

A hard-mouthed horse is easily handled by the use of this attachment to hit, and has the 1 the loops D, next through pulleys B, and then back through the loops to the vehicle, as shown and described.
